I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 85: Two Pages of Book Opened by the Ancient God

"what?"

Hearing what the fox fairy Nannan said, Zhang Chen quickly turned his head and saw that the fox fairy Nannan was standing in front of the crystal bone and yelling at Zhang Chen.

"Come and see! You will know after you see it!" Fox Fairy Nannan said hurriedly: "This is the Supreme Book of Heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen hurried forward to look, stood beside the fox fairy Nannan, then moved along the fox fairy Nannan's line of sight, and his eyes fell on the bluestone in front of the crystal bone.

The crystal bone was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a book placed in front of it. However, because the color of the book was too similar to the bluestone, and the firelight in the stone chamber was dim, the jade bone attracted all the attention of the two people, so they did not notice the book on the ground.

Moreover, the book was very thin, less than 0.3 cm, and was now open, quietly placed in front of the jade bones.

Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the book, and he saw two strange and extremely complicated symbols drawn on each of the two open pages.

There were no words on the pages, only two symbols that looked very complicated.

"It looks a bit like the Taoist runes of later generations." Zhang Chen raised the torch and looked at it carefully. The symbol looked similar to the Taoist runes of later generations.

"What did you just say this was?" Zhang Chen asked while observing the rune.

"Book of Heaven!"

The fox fairy Nannan said.

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Zhang Chen, a country bumpkin, would not understand, so she explained: "These books contain mysterious power, which is a special mystery. Although they do not have any mysterious abilities, the things recorded in them are incredible. Now the mysterious power of this book has dissipated, and it is just a book made of ordinary materials, but the content recorded in it has not changed at all, and it is still of great value."

"About sixty years ago, a human race saw a divine master dig out a heavenly book in a tomb, which caused a bloody storm in the martial arts world. Even foreign tribes from outside the Great Wall rode southward with a 100,000-strong army to attack the Central Plains." Fox Fairy Nannan said, "The contents recorded in it contain incredible secrets. I even heard that it also records the cultivation methods of the soul and various ways to master incredible means. Its value is simply immeasurable. Even foreign tribes did not hesitate to start a war just because of a book!"

"According to research, although these heavenly books were excavated from a large tomb, they were not written by the ancient gods. Even the ancient gods do not know where the heavenly books came from. This thing should be the imprint of the laws of heaven and earth on mundane things, and then it was formed. Even for those ancient gods, this thing is still extremely important." The fox spirit's voice was full of fanaticism.

Zhang Chen understood after hearing this. No one knew where the heavenly book came from, but they only knew that it contained incredible contents.

Although the mysterious power of the heavenly book has dissipated, the contents recorded in it are still valid.

"Do you recognize the things on this page?" Zhang Chen asked.

The vixen was stuck when she heard this, and her passion was suppressed: "I don't know him!"

After saying this, he felt embarrassed to say he didn't know him in front of Zhang Chen, so he quickly said, "It doesn't matter if I don't know him. We can take this heavenly book out and ask those old guys from the human race to decipher it. It will be equivalent to knowing him."

"Since you said that this heavenly book has lost the blessing of its mysterious power, I'm afraid its material has long since decayed into ashes. As long as we touch it, the book will immediately turn into powder, and there will be no chance for us to take it out." Zhang Chen looked at the open book in front of him with a hint of expectation in his eyes. He hoped that the book would drop some skills so that he could obtain all the contents of the book. Unfortunately, the mysterious power of the book had dissipated, and there was no chance of dropping any skills.

The vixen was also stunned when she heard this, and then she looked carefully at the two pages of the book in front of her: "According to what you said, we can only read the contents of these two pages, right?"

"Of course." Zhang Chen said.

Although he was heartbroken about losing a heavenly book, at least he could still read two pages, right?
The vixen held her chest when she heard this, feeling grief-stricken: "The treasure is right before my eyes, but I have no way to take it away. This is simply a sin."

Zhang Chen ignored the vixen's words and stared intently at the two runes in front of him. The two runes were so complicated that it was not easy for Zhang Chen to remember them even though he had been reborn.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the crystal core in Zhang Chen's body vibrated again, and that familiar feeling came over him again. Zhang Chen felt that his vision began to change. In an instant, he seemed to see the microscopic world, the trajectory of dust between heaven and earth, and the molecular structure of various substances.

In this state, his mental strength seemed to be infinitely elevated, and he completely memorized the two runes with complex lines at just one glance.

Then the crystal core stopped beating, and Zhang Chen came out of that subtle state. He sensed the scroll that seemed to be branded in his mind, and was about to speak to the vixen when he suddenly felt a warmth between her mouth and nose, and then a stream of bright red blood flowed out.

"What's wrong with you? Can you read a book and your nose bleed?" The vixen smelled blood and quickly turned to look at Zhang Chen. She was afraid that Zhang Chen would die and she would be buried with him.

Zhang Chen wiped the blood from his nose and felt a sharp pain in his body. Countless capillaries ruptured at this moment, but they continued to recover under the effect of the blood control technique.

The blood control technique was consuming blood and rapidly restoring the body. Then a slight dizzying feeling came over him. Zhang Chen felt that the existing blood in his body was less than half of what it was at its peak.

"My body is overloaded! This skill cannot be used lightly. Unless I have a large blood source, I will die if my blood runs out."

Zhang Chen secretly warned himself.

But it was all worth it, because he memorized two runes, let's call them runes for now, and Zhang Chen felt that they would be of great use in the future.

"I'm fine." Zhang Chen ignored the vixen's words and looked at the book on the ground. He carefully stretched out his fingers, as if he wanted to turn the page.

"Hey, don't be reckless! At least wait until I record these two patterns before testing." The vixen said anxiously.

Zhang Chen ignored the fox spirit's words and just as his fingertips touched the book, he saw that the book had indeed been completely carbonized. The place where he touched it turned into dust and fell into the air. Fortunately, Zhang Chen only touched a tiny corner. Only the place where his fingertips touched turned into dust. Seeing this, Zhang Chen quickly retracted his finger and turned to the fox spirit and said, "Is there such a thing as the ability to reverse matter in this world?"

Zhang Chen thought of the reversal of matter. Now that the book has been completely carbonized, if someone could reverse matter, perhaps the book could be saved.

"I haven't heard of them." The fox spirit shook her head. "Do you think it's so easy to meet gods? I've only met five of them in my life, and the rest are just acquired practitioners who have explored the spiritual realm. Even among the practitioners who can explore the spiritual realm, I've only seen eight people, including humans and beasts."

"Although there are mysteries in this world, they are extremely rare. It is truly sad that we are walking alone." The voice of the fox fairy Nannan was filled with emotion.

"Didn't you say that mysterious powers can be passed down through blood? According to you, as the bloodline is passed down from generation to generation, there should be more and more people who master mysterious powers. How come they are so rare?" Zhang Chen was puzzled. Isn't this a contradiction?

"When people who have mastered mysterious powers marry ordinary people and have children, the purity of the mysterious powers will only be reduced, and each generation will be weaker than the previous one. After three or five generations, the mysterious powers will disappear and they will completely become ordinary people. Moreover, when people who have mastered mysterious powers marry others who have mastered mysterious powers, the mysterious powers in their bodies will sometimes conflict with each other, causing the children to die suddenly at birth. Some will complement and strengthen each other, and their powers will far exceed those of their parents. However, which parent in the world does not want their children to be born smoothly and healthily? Therefore, most people who have mastered mysterious powers marry ordinary people in the hope that their offspring can continue to be healthy."

Fox Fairy Nannan said here, and then changed the subject: "Although the descendants of those bloodline holders have not shown the ability to master it, as long as there is an opportunity in the future, the mysterious power of the bloodline in their bodies will be reactivated again. For example, the fate of the dragon is gathered. If someone can grab a trace of fate from the dragon's mouth, they can reactivate the dormant bloodline in their bodies."

"Are there any sects in this world? Like the sect inheritance in novels and biographies?" Zhang Chen opened his mouth and looked at the vixen.

"What are you thinking about! You have obtained good fortune, but instead of passing it on to your own son, you are thinking of passing it on to an outsider. Is this possible?" Upon hearing this, the vixen widened her eyes and looked at Zhang Chen in shock, as if she was amazed at how a normal person like him could ask such a stupid question?
Zhang Chen's face turned dark, and he immediately realized that he had made a common sense mistake because of the misleading novel in his previous life.

How precious is inheritance?

This thing is like the throne. When the emperor is alive, he won't even pass it on to his own sons, let alone pass it on to something mysterious that is even rarer than the throne.

"However, there are some shady organizations in this world. They are people with ulterior motives. In order to do things secretly, they will secretly recruit disciples, teach them some skills, and ask them to do things for them." The fox spirit changed the subject: "For example, your human race has a martial arts heritage. In order to support the family, the master may recruit some disciples and teach them some skills when he opens a martial arts school. Or it may be an escort agency that needs to escort and expand its power. There are also temples and Taoist temples that also teach martial arts. If they need to gain a foothold in the martial arts world, they can only teach disciples to expand their influence."

Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this. The excitement of this world was beyond his expectations. It was not the world he had imagined, but it was more exciting than what he had imagined.

"You are a god now. In the future, you can consider creating your own power and working for you secretly. You can recruit some maids and old women to serve you, and then I can take a rest." said the vixen.

Zhang Chen rolled his eyes at the vixen but said nothing. Instead, he stared carefully at the book in front of him, thinking about how he could get more content.

"Are you still not giving up?" Seeing Zhang Chen staring at the book in silence, the vixen guessed what was in Zhang Chen's mind and asked.

"I have a feeling that the things recorded in this book are extraordinary and will be of great use in the future. It would be a pity if we miss it." Zhang Chen sighed with regret and turned to look at the vixen: "You are in the state of a soul, can you control the book and separate these rotten books?"

"What are you thinking about? I am in the state of a soul, but I am not omnipotent! Of course, if you are willing to release the restraints on me, I will transform this book into a state of nothingness, and perhaps I can preserve it and find an opportunity to restore it in the future."

When the vixen said this, there was a gleam in her eyes, with a hint of anticipation.

"If I untie your bonds, you will probably kill me first in order to keep the mysterious fortune for yourself!" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

Although he had mastered the soul-charming chains, and the vixen now had no physical body and could do whatever she wanted with her souls, he did not want to cause any more trouble.

The fox spirit's abilities are too terrifying. If she were to retaliate, there is a high chance that she would be in trouble.

There was a hint of disappointment in the vixen's eyes. She curled her lips and said nothing more. With her intelligence, she knew that Zhang Chen would never believe whatever she said at this moment.

"By the way, I actually have a question in my mind. Why would that nerd sell all his property overnight and buy you back?" Zhang Chen asked the question in his mind.

"Of course it was me who sent you the dream!" said the vixen.

"Then why didn't you choose to send me a dream, but chose that poor scholar?" Zhang Chen felt a little unbalanced.

The vixen was silent for a long time after hearing this, and stared at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes, which made Zhang Chen a little creepy: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you know why I can borrow rice and flour from your family?" the vixen said.

"Why?" Zhang Chen was stunned.

"Because when I used up my last bit of strength to go to you to dream, you were sleeping too soundly, without any spirituality at all, and you couldn't dream at all. If I couldn't succeed in dreaming, and my last bit of strength was exhausted, I would no longer be able to dream, and then I would have no way out. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the scholar went to your house in the middle of the night to steal things, giving me the last hope!" The vixen gnashed her teeth in hatred when she said this:

"My dear ancestor, I have never met such a stupid person. He sleeps like a dead pig, so lifeless that he can't even dream!"

The fox feels so wronged!

What can she do?
She is also very helpless!

After hearing the vixen's explanation, Zhang Chen was completely speechless and stood there in a daze for a moment.

ps: I will leave the tomb tomorrow and start dealing with the plot outside. I feel that the plot is a bit watery, but when writing the chapters about exploring destiny, it just looks a bit watery. I will push the main plot tomorrow.
